sighed, stretching
shadow toes
across
the
cool
grass
i climbed that giant until
my own shadow
sprawled soft
among
leaves
down
below
and three dirty rascals
begged their way
to conquest:
kings
of
this
castle
whilst sunset crowned
the true champion
beneath our giant,
smiling
with
eyes
upturned
brian miller's post still has me thinking trees.
emily's been meditating about wheat.
I could live on that first phrase alone. Sigh. LOVE.
ReplyDeletesmiles. this is a lovely verse...and love playing in the trees....smiling with eyes upturned...hey that is me today...
ReplyDeletewhat you did with a tree, and a camera, and sunshine, and verse – creating a kingdom - having it rise and fall - just 100% full wisdom and whimsy. I hearted it – thank you for it. And God bless and keep you and each and every one of yours Bethany Ann.
